I woke up sick this morning with almost no voice. I'm not sure if it's strep throat, the flu, or just a bad bug, but it sucks. The worst part, I'm flying to Michigan this evening for Super Interview Saturday tomorrow! I would be stressed enough if I was sick for an interview, but this is an all day event. I have a feeling Michigan may be where I end up, so I'm definitely going but am not looking forward to having to be "on" all day with a scratchy voice, stuffed up, and coughing. Anyone have any miracle quick fixes or recommendations!?

By the way, it's 10' where I am now and 20' in Ann Arbor...not a good thing for someone that's sick!

I am coming down with something as well. The only thing that works for me is to take 3 excedrin in the morning when I wake up with an awful sore throat. It may not help fight the sore throat, but for the rest of the day, it doesnt hurt.

Actually cold weather has nothing to do with people getting sick (maybe pneumonia). The reason people get colds, flus, and the like in the winter is because they spend more time indoors with other people (spreading germs) than they do in warmer months.

So don't worry about the cold weather!

That's a good point. But 10'F and snow still sucks! 2 hours in an airplane won't help tonight though!

Makers of the herbal supplement Airborne have agreed to pay $23.3 million in a class-action lawsuit over false advertising....But it's also the one, Schardt says, that's been misleading consumers for 10 years. First, he says, Airbone entered the market claiming that its formula — a result of research by second-grade teacher Victoria Knight-McDowell — could ward off colds. Airborne later backed off, reworking its campaign to say the supplement "boosts your immune system."...The problem, Schardt says, is that Airborne didn't have a single shred of evidence to back up either claim.

I bet they get this a lot this time of year. Don't worry, take your time. Don't be afraid to cough or sneeze, as long as you are prepared for it (armed with Hankey and all). Make sure you don't sniffle, but take a moment to gently blow your nose.

Apologize and explain your way out of it and still keep your composure. That will show your professionalism.
